When The Past Becomes The Future

Trouble At Sea

"Skye! Get Turbot out of here!" Ryder said on second thought. "Before it gets too hard for you to fly."

"You've got it, Ryder!" Skye picked Turbot up in her whirlwind and flew away.

"Quickly, Rocky, I can't do this much longer!" said Zuma, who was now beginning to pant. In powers versus weather, the weather would eventually win. Rocky pulled out the sheet metal he had brought with him. I have to get in the water! I...can't do it! I can't! I'm too afraid. Then Rocky looked over at Zuma, sweat on his face, holding back the waves. I have to do this, I can't let the team down. Go! Rocky leaped off Zuma's craft and splashed into the water. The water was very cold, making his muscles cramp up. Chunks of ice floated by him. Fear seized him for a moment. No,! Not water! Not again! Rocky shook his head. Come one, Rocky. You have a job to do. Rocky swiftly swam under the boat, around the other side, with the aid of his scuba gear.

Ryder looked down into the water from his ATV. I know he can do this. Suddenly, a flash of green shone from the depths. Come on, come on! Zuma's just about exhausted. As if to prove his point, Zuma gave one last cry and placed his paws down.

"I'm sowry, Wyder! I can't hold it anymore!" said Zuma, a little guiltily.

"It's okay Zuma, you've done enough," said Ryder. "Rocky, get out of there! We've gotta leave now. Zuma's exhausted, and the waves will soon be too strong to get back!"

"I hear you, Ryder! Just one more bolt... got it! I'm coming up!" said Rocky over his pup tag.

Rocky's paws stopped glowing as he turned the last bolt on the makeshift patch.

As he got ready to swim up to the surface, a wayward gust of water slammed him into the side of the ship so hard, it knocked out the boosters. Uh, oh. The water carried him right into the rocks. The impact of Rocky hitting the rocks caused some of the rocks to fall on him.

"Mayday, Mayday!" said Rocky pinned under the rocks. "I'm trapped up under the water Ryder! The boosters have been knocked out and I can't move!"

"What!" exclaimed Ryder. Just as this was said, A rolling wave came in, causing Ryder to fight for control. "Ryder! The hurricane is almost upon you, you gotta get out of there! NOW!" beeped his pup pad, Katie's worried voice coming through.

"Rocky, we can't get to you, the waves have pushed us back! We'll have to come back to you later, 'cause if we stay, we'll be overcome by the waves!"

"Ok, Ryder I hear you. Get out of here, I'll be fine!" Then Rocky heard a thump, and then a hissing sound. A sharp piece of rock had punctured his oxygen tank.

"Ahhh! I'm losing air! My tank is damaged!" Already Rocky's oxygen percentage dropped 15 percent. Zuma's field of calm completely disappeared.

"Wyder! I'll get Wocky, you get out of here, it too dangerous! I can use my powers to save us, but I can't save you too. I'm still too drained."

"No! I'm not leaving you behind! What are you even going to do?"

"I'll figure something out, but if you stay, you'll drown!"

"I'm not leaving!"

"Help, I'm down 30 percent!" whined Rocky, beginning to hyperventilate.

"I'm sowry, Wyder! But you can't stay here!" Zuma raised his paw.

"Don't you do it, Zuma..."

"Sowwy...too late." After harnessing the power from the waves, he pushed back with all his might towards Ryder. The wave carried him away, straight for Adventure Bay. Ryder's protest came over the pup tag, but it was too late, and Zuma wasn't listening anyway. He had already jumped in the water to save his best friend. Rocky was trying to use his power tools to clear away the rubble, but it wasn't working too well.
